What's my car worth? BMW E36 M3/4/5

My stable needs an AWD for my personal winter coolness. As a poor blogging pharmacist, the M3 may just have to be the car to fund it. Please comment on the blog, or suggest a value, a trade, send me money or just call me an asshole.

Tiny spoiler is off a E46, but it's applied with tape,
You can peel it off if it offends your sensibilities.

If it was for sale the add would look like this......................

For Sale: Made FAMOUS BY THIS BLOG. MY 1997 M3 4 door 5 speed sedan 116,000 miles and climbing. All those nagging little projects have been done. Apparently, I forgot it snows in Colorado.

This is the car in current state. Just outside of Estes Park, my favorite Saturday drive.
Saturday drives and cars and coffee is all I do. I don't have the nerves for track days

Please note there are no pizza delivery guys or teenagers in it's ownership history. No offense intended, I'm a big fan of both for different reasons.

Owner 1. ER manager at Seattle hospital

Owner 2. ER physical at same hospital

Owner 3. Pharmacist at Boulder hospital. (Me)

You can see here all the Dinan shocks, springs, sway and muffler.
Dinan is a great compromise between streetable and sporty feel.
After all, they sold their stuff through most dealerships.

It is not a Carfax virgin, which can put off some folks. I bought it because the condition was exceptional, not because the Carfax was exceptional. The was struck by a grocery cart, wielded by an angry vagrant in 2007. Opportunity to paint the entire car and address years of scuffs and scratches presented itself. So it's been resprayed pretty darn well.

This photo shows the Motorsport belts, but there are other things to admire.
Note the condition of the arm rest, the door panel & the seats side bolsters.
Please note: I'm showing you the worst seat, the driver seat.

Service history: This cars had the privilege of attentive, financially capable ownership. It is evidenced by a binder thick with original purchase paperwork, maintenance history and repair documentation. I personally, love service paperwork, just because it shows the owners were obsessed with the car's care.

Dinan intake, the original carbon not the new crappy ones.

Dinan Strut Tower brace. just front one. Sedan's w/out a pass through, like this one) are the most rigid M3's you can get.

Everyone who has the car for their traveling purpose always looking for getting the Car Care Tips for their car, but he did not be able to get the right and better car care tip from any person. But some of the great automotive dealer like cheap mechanic Los Angeles always guides the all person on right way for caring their car.
